“The BJP is a large family, and if someone comes to us with a commitment towards our values and principles, then it should not be opposed.”

We must link Azamgarh to art and culture and not with terrorism and crime.

I have always faced challenges in my life.

Law and order is a state responsibility. I can assure you peace will be maintained in Uttar Pradesh.

Under Prime Minister Modi’s leadership, terror camps are being destroyed, which is breaking the back of terrorists and Pakistan.

The tradition that I come from has a great influence on Karnataka. Not just politically – it’s also my social and moral responsibility to draw citizens facing bad governance and lawlessness to a leadership that is capable of delivering good governance and development.

Nobody is allowed to break the law.

Most of the people who oppose idol worshipping belong to TMC.

The Election Commission stopped me from campaigning. I accepted it and reached people through my prayer – in silence. People gave their approval. Praying in silence is important, and this spiritual prayer has paid off.

A victory for the BJP means a victory for prosperity and development.

I don’t have a personal agenda. My priority is expeditious implementation of my party’s manifesto, the Lok Kalyan Sankalp Patra.

We must raise resources by curbing wasteful expenditure. That’s why I resolved that the hooter culture, where VIPs are provided red-beacon cars at taxpayers’ expense, must end.

I am not putting a check on anyone. I just have to say that India’s Constitution has given certain rights and freedom to people, but there are some limits, too.

My guide is the Modi government at the Centre. It’s my inspiration. I will follow that.

After Modi became the PM, development happened across the country.

I have said it previously and saying it again. My government will work for betterment of all, irrespective of caste or religion.

Jinnah cannot be honoured in India. He’s responsible for the partition of our country. No Jinnah eulogy is acceptable in India.

I believe in giving more than 100% on the field, and I don’t really worry about the result if there’s great commitment on the field. That’s a victory for me.

Prayer is the strength that sustains our commitment.

Commitment cannot be compromised by rewards.

Commitment is not letting people down. That’s very important in life. If you say you’re going to do something, make sure you do it. Just try never to let people down.

I commit to listen, learn and take action.

Commitment is a big part of what I am and what I believe.

Stay committed to your decisions, but stay flexible in your approach.

Leadership takes work. It takes time and energy. The effects are not always easily measured and they are not always immediate. Leadership is always a commitment to human beings.
